Can we write lemmy bots? (lemmy.ml)

I wrote a few useful utility bots back in the old days when reddit was a thing.

I just remembered them now, thinking it'd be useful to write a new one to help some of our art communities. (More on that latet)

Is there a bot framework, or similar for lemmy? Some docs? Some boilerplate code maybe? Just something I can sink into and learn.

Thanks so much

Yes. There are a few bots out there. And I found writing one pretty simple. I wrote this wikibot a while back in Rust: https://codeberg.org/asudox/lemmy-wikibot-rs

Though the code sucked ass. Anyways, I am currently making an automoderation bot for Lemmy. You might struggle to find good documentation for the API though.

The documentation will get much better with 1.0
